Abstract: A filter, a method of operating and a method of making is provided. The filter includes multiple filter layers in plurality with the structural integrity of the filter as a whole. The layers are perforated to allow any type of filtering such as but not limited to osmosis filtering, reverse osmosis filtering, static filtering, and sifting or sieve-like filtering effect as the media being filtered passes through the layers as the outermost layer collects most debris. The layers further have an adhesive relationship with each other layer and an optional base layer, so that each layer may be individually removed and the one beneath is exposed as a cleaner filter surface.

Abstract: A pencil sharpener is provided. The pencil sharpener comprising: a sharpener body configured to sharpen a pencil when inserted and rotated; a first guide rotationally coupled to the sharpener body, the first guide having a first opening sized and shaped to receive a circular, hexagon or oval pencil; and a second guide rotationally coupled to the sharpener body, the second guide assembly having a second opening sized and shaped to receive a circular, hexagon or oval pencil, the second opening being aligned with the first opening when the pencil is inserted through both the first opening and the second opening.

Abstract: A sleeve for a water bottle and a method of making a sleeve is provided. The sleeve comprising a bottle holder portion having a first plurality of elastic straps arranged to define a cylindrical center portion.
